DESCRIPTION:
Enlisting the help of her father’s pirate cronies, Gabrielle commandeers Drew’s ship and takes him prisoner. Devastated by her mother’s death, eighteen-year-old Gabrielle Brooks sets sail from England to a Caribbean island in search of her estranged father. Though drawn to Gabrielle’s fiery beauty, Drew, a fun-loving rogue, wants nothing to do with a young woman hunting for a husband. But as passion runs high on their sea voyage, it becomes difficult to tell who is truly the captor and who is the captive.. Incensed by Drew’s indifference, Gabrielle is determined to win his attentions. In London, Gabrielle is escorted to balls and parties by James Malory’s wife, Georgina, and her brother, Drew Anderson, a dashing American sea captain who is visiting. But when Drew embroils her in a scandal the night before he’s to sail back to America, Gabrielle vows revenge.

Despite the fact that her father had called in a favor from the influential James Malory, who, along with his wife, Georgina, is sponsoring Gabrielle's debut, it is already midway through the season, and most of the eligible men have been tagged by other marriage-minded misses.

Lady Pirate heroine should have had him keelhauled!!! This book was one that I both loved and hated at times. Things I loved: Gabrielle the heroine, many scenes with both James Mallory and Georgina (the subjects of my all time favorite Malory novel "Gentle Rogue"), a great adventure of a story and a page turning story. Things I hated: two words the 'hero.' I was so disappointed in Drew's story.

Sheila M said Good Addition to the Series. CAPTIVE OF MY DESIRES is the eighth book in the Malory Family Series. This book is the first where there is no actual Malory as one of the main characters although the hero, Drew Anderson is familiar to fans of the series as one of the brothers of Georgina Malory. Drew is in London visiting his sister when he meets Gabrielle Brooks who had been sent by her father to England to find a husband. Drew is attracted to Gabrielle but has no intention to marry.I really liked to interaction between Drew and Gabrielle. Gabrielle is strong and
